What I came up with is this super easy DIY Matcha Tea Face Mask Recipe that not only beautifies your skin, but also pampers and nourishes with the power of green tea and honey. After using this mask, my skin(dry by the way) was toned, felt hydrated and was glowing. Pamper yourself and try out this nourishing, anti-oxidant mask the next time you do a facial.
DIY Matcha Tea Face Mask
Ingredients and Benefits
- Matcha tea – As a facial treatment provides tremendous benefits to your skin. Matcha tea is powdered green tea and considered to be an anti-oxidant powerhouse. Each cup boasting as many anti-oxidants as 10 cups of regular green tea. This tea also contains EGCG and chlorophyll. These attributes give the tea its anti-bacterial, anti-oxidant and antimicrobial properties that help fight acne, fade scars, rejuvenate skin structure, increase skin hydration, remove toxins, reduce inflammation, fight fine lines and wrinkles, prevent skin cell damage and stimulate circulation.
- Bentonite clay – often referred to as a “healing” clay, is primarily composed of volcanic ash. This clay is detoxifying, brightening and skin regenerating. It also helps reduce pore size and keeps skin soft and supple.
- Lavender flowers – Lavender is known for its soothing, calming and relaxing aroma, but did you know that it can work wonders for our skin as well? It is anti-bacterial, skin brightening, anti-aging and helps balance sebum production for both oily and dry skin.
- Rose petals – Roses are beautiful and will be forever linked to love. Who knew that a simple rose could have so many skin benefits? Roses are hydrating, antibacterial, anti-oxidant, toning and anti-inflammatory.
- Raw Organic Honey – Raw honey is excellent for skin. It’s anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-aging. It also contains enzymes, nutrients, minerals and vitamins. All of which are great for healthy skin cell regeneration.
